This area has been of concern in recent years to researchers and practitioners in fields ranging from the social and natural sciences to management and technical engineering. The book reflects this diversity with global contributions on topics such as design for the environment, total quality environmental management, green supply chains, reverse logistics, environmental management systems and standards, industrial ecology, closed-loop manufacturing, life-cycle management, pollution prevention (P2), environmental technologies and energy efficiency. The aim and scope of "Greener Manufacturing and Operations" is to capture state-of-the-art and future practices in environmental manufacturing and operations practices and issues in one concise volume. The book is therefore a fluid mix of case studies, empirical research and applied theoretical works incorporating both conceptual ideas whose time will come to practical applications that managers and practitioners can apply immediately. Comprehensive in its coverage of the key issues, contributions range from a focus on the internal operations of a single function within an organisation to a consideration of industrial manufacturing practices at a macro-economic level. A number of levels of decision-making are also represented: from long-term strategic issues such as supply chain design, to traditional short-term operations decision-making and planning issues such as production planning. Many of the principles developed and presented here can also be extended to the more general process management of service organisations. The book is organised into four major sections: Operations Strategy and Policy; Manufacturing and Operations Practice; Tools for Managing Greener Manufacturing and Operations; and, finally, Case Studies. "Greener Manufacturing and Operations" is an essential aid for managers, engineers, students, researchers and consultants wishing to understand the various issues, principles and tools for managing the operations and manufacturing function in a more environmentally benign and sustainable manner. "'Greener Manufacturing and Operations' provides a thoughtful and practical look at what it is about environmental issues that is important to corporations: environmental considerations pervade the organisation, they represent real survival value for the company and they give companies the opportunity to do the right thing. Professor Sarkis has assembled an international roster of contributors who delve into the issues from many perspectives. Required reading for practitioners, policy-makers and researchers." Kurt Fischer, Co-founder, The Greening of Industry Network "...corporations face some significant unfolding challenges in proceeding with state-of-the-art developments so well described in this book." Roger E. Kasperson, Executive Director, Stockholm Environment Institute ********************************* TABLE OF CONTENTS Foreword: Roger E.
